The Live Library in Hospitals Project is a strategy adopted by several health institutions for the purpose of providing hospitalized children and adolescents the reading mediation of infant-juvenile stories through professionals and volunteers capable of this function. This study aimed to find out to what extent the reading of stories strategy proposed by this project in hospitals can be a communication resource to use with hospitalized children. In order to do that, empirical data collection was carried out through the use of semi structured interviews with the reader and children above the age of seven years and observation of reading sections. The qualitative data analysis was doing it and it was verified that the reading mediation favors the dialogs and METHODOLOGICAL APPROACHThis is a descriptive and exploratory study, (9) and the answers to its inquiries were sought using the qualitative approach, due to the characteristics of the study object and the proposed objective. With the children, the effort was to find out about what kind of story they prefer, why they enjoy listening to stories, how they feel while listening to them, and what relations they establish between the story (imaginary world) and their life.Permission from the legal guardians of the children, usually parents, regarding their participation in the study was obtained after explaining about the study objective and the technique used for data collection and, upon their agreement, they were asked to sign the free and informed consent form. The same procedure was carried out with the reading mediators.To ensure the anonymity of the children participating in the study, their names were replaced with the letters A to N, followed by their age, and with the letters I (when it concerned the interview) or O (referring to observation). The mediators were identified by numbers from I to IX, also followed by I (for interview) or O (for observation).The empirical material produced from the interviews and the observation sessions was typed and organized in separate files, and an analysis was made of the stages determined by the thematic content analysis technique, i.e. pre-analysis, analysis

“…treatment constitutes a stress factor to the child, requiring deep adaptation of several changes that happen in his/ her daily routine. However, this situation could be lighter when some condition guaranteed, for example: the presence of family, the affective availability of heath professionals, the property information on what is going to happen with his/her, the explanation about the ludic activity including recreational as well as therapeutic in preparation for TP (9) . Observations of more positive behavior manifested during play sessions by most of children of this study strengthen what was stated above.…”

“…Many studies reported that the use of guided and dramatic TP favors to raise a more positive behavior among children, particularly because it enables learning, and reduces stress when facing new and traumatic experiences. In addition, it contributes to improve children's humor and stimulates creativity among other benefits (5,(8)(9)(12)(13)16,18) . A qualitative study with schooling children with cancer assisted at an oncology outpatient department presented results that corroborate with those found in our study and those in previously cited studies (5,(8)(9)(12)(13)16,18) .…”

“…It reduces the chance of infection, decreases costs, and narrowing agents that cause stress during hospital stay, and above all, avoid the separation from family. The use of toys, specially for children who have limited contact with hospital, is fundamental for them to understand better the procedures, and also to make their stay more pleasant, relaxed and relief their anxiety (9)(10) . Despite outpatient therapy brings several benefits for children, it does not exclude the need of puncture, which is an invasive and painful procedure, that is difficult to be tolerated by preschooler who felt it as something harmful to their body.…”

The aim of this study was to create an adaptation of the Revised Knox Preschool Play Scale (RKPPS) for the Brazilian population, as well as to apply the instrument with statistical analysis to verify the preliminary intra-rater and inter-rater reliability and repeatability of the instrument. The instructions presented by Beaton et al. regarding adaptation of instruments were followed to perform a cross-cultural adaptation of the RKPPS. A preliminary test of the Portuguese version was performed on 18 children with no motor, cognitive or sensory impairment. The video recordings of this administration were analysed on two separate occasions by two examiners within a 5-month interval, using the scores suggested by Pfeifer. The Spearman's test was used in the statistical analysis of the obtained data. The author of the RKPPS agreed with the small necessary cultural adaptations. The Spearman test revealed a high correlation coefficient and good significance levels for both intra- and inter-raters values. This study demonstrated the reliability and repeatability of the Brazilian version of the RKPPS. This is a preliminary study and further studies are needed in order to validate the scale to be administered in the Brazilian population.
